Definitions
- the present invention relates to a controller for an AC rotary machine, and particularly relates to a controller for an AC rotary machine, which is a type of speed-sensorless vector control controller, and does not require a speed sensor mounted on the AC rotary machine.
- an AC output voltage output from a power converter to the AC rotary machine has an extremely low voltage value in an extremely low speed region in which speed of an AC rotary machine is extremely low.
- the speed sensorless vector control may induce a setting error in rotary machine constant of an AC rotary machine to be used, an error in voltage value of the AC output voltage caused by a short-circuit prevention period between upper and lower arms including semiconductor elements configuring the power converter, and an error in voltage value of the AC output voltage caused by on-voltage drop of each of the semiconductor elements configuring the power converter.
- the voltage value error in AC output voltage becomes extremely influential in the extremely low speed region in which the AC output voltage has an extremely low voltage value.
- an angular-frequency estimate value being an estimate value of angular frequency of the AC output voltage is calculated assuming that the AC output voltage corresponds to a voltage instruction value, and therefore when the voltage value error increases due to the above factors, an error in angular-frequency estimate output of the AC output voltage also increases, leading to instability in control. Therefore, the speed sensorless vector control has a problem that the angular-frequency estimate output of the AC output voltage should be stably calculated even in the extremely low speed region.
- first estimate means which generates an angular-frequency estimate value of an AC output voltage output from a power converter to an AC rotary machine based on a q-axis current instruction value Iq* and a q-axis current detected value Iq
- second estimate means which generates an angular-frequency estimate value of an AC output voltage based on the q-axis current instruction value Iq* and a d-axis current instruction value Id*, and when the angular-frequency estimate value of the AC voltage given by the first estimate means is equal to or less than a predetermined value, the first estimate means is switched to the second estimate means, and then control is continued.

- monitor means which compares an angular-frequency estimate value being output from an angular-frequency estimate section to a preset lower-level set value, and performs switching by using switch means such that when the angular- frequency estimate value becomes equal to or less than a lower-limit level set value, set angular frequency as an output signal from function generation means is used in place of the angular-frequency estimate value.
- the second estimate means generates the angular-frequency estimate value based on the q-axis current instruction value Iq* and the d-axis current instruction value Id*, therefore the means may highly stably calculate the angular-frequency estimate value.
- the second estimate means cannot follow turbulence such as voltage variation at a DC side of the power converter, and idling that may occur in an electric rolling stock. Since the second estimate means is weak in variation in voltage or speed, when the means is used, stability and reliability of the controller may be reduced.
- the invention proposes a controller for an AC rotary machine, which may solve the problems in the Patent Documents 1 and 2.

- the Formula (11) shows that the angular-frequency estimate value ⁇ i needs to be equal to or more than the lower limit value in order to stably calculate the rotation angular-frequency estimate value ⁇ e. While the right side of the Formula (11) has to be equal to the lower-limit constant value ⁇ 2, when the right side of the Formula (8) for calculating the lower-limit constant value ⁇ 2 is compared to the right side of the Formula (11), the Formula (8) is different from the Formula (11) in that it includes the multiplication constant k.
- the multiplication constant k is introduced to stably calculate the rotation angular-frequency estimate value ⁇ e after consideration that a primary resistance value Rs is changed depending on temperature.
- the primary resistance value Rs in the Formula (8) strictly means the primary resistance value Rss at the standard temperature, and when the Formula (12) is substituted with the Formula (8) and modified, the following formula is obtained for calculating the multiplication constant k.
- Rsmax / Ls k ⁇ Rss / Ls

- FIG. 3 An advantage given by the lower-limit constant value output means 21 is described while comparing Fig. 3 with Fig. 4.
- Figs. 3 and 4 show characteristic diagrams showing a relationship between the rotation angular-frequency estimate value ⁇ e obtained by simulation and actual torque of the induction motor 1A in order to show an advantage that the rotation angular-frequency estimate value ⁇ e is limited to be equal to or more than the lower-limit constant value ⁇ 2, thereby speed estimate can be stably performed.
- rotation frequency of the induction motor 1A is virtually fixed at one of 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0 [Hz], and a torque instruction value is changed in a range of 0 to 100% of a maximum torque instruction value.
- the reason for fixing the rotation frequency of the induction motor 1A is to easily understand what degree of error occurs in speed estimate.
- the rotation frequency of the induction motor 1A depends on frequency of an AC voltage output by the power converter 11, and frequency of the three-phase voltage instruction value to the power converter 11 depends on the rotation angular-frequency estimate value ⁇ e. Therefore, the rotation frequency of the induction motor 1A cannot be actually fixed to a value being significantly different from the rotation angular-frequency estimate value ⁇ e.
- a horizontal axis shows a value [Hz] of the rotation angular-frequency estimate value ⁇ e expressed in frequency
- a vertical axis shows actual torque [%] of the induction motor 1A.
- Fig. 3 shows a characteristic in the Embodiment 1 in the case that the angular-frequency estimate output means 20 has the lower-limit constant value output means 21, the comparison means 24, and the switching means 25, and the angular- frequency estimate value ⁇ i is limited to be equal to or more than the lower-limit constant value ⁇ 2 in the extremely low speed region of the induction motor 1A.
- Fig. 4 shows a characteristic in the case that the lower-limit constant value output means 21, the comparison means 24, and the switching means 25 in the Embodiment 1 are eliminated, and the angular-frequency calculated value ⁇ 1 ⁇ 1 is directly output as the angular- frequency estimate value ⁇ i.
- characteristics C1 to C7 correspond to characteristics at rotation frequency of 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0 [Hz] of the induction motor 1 A respectively.
- the lower-limit constant value output means 21 outputs a lower-limit constant value as a constant based on the motor constants Rs and Ls, and the multiplication constant k, thereby the lower-limit constant value can be advantageously easily determined without particular adjustment.
- Fig. 5 shows a block circuit diagram showing Embodiment 2 of the controller for the AC rotary machine according to the invention.
- the AC rotary machine 1 is a synchronous motor 1B
- the controller 10A in the Embodiment 1 is replaced by a controller 10B.
- the slip angular-frequency instruction calculation device 16 and the addition means 17 in the controller 10A are eliminated, and the rotation angular-frequency estimate value ⁇ e from the rotation angular-frequency estimate calculation means 19 is directly supplied to the angular-frequency estimate output means 20 as the angular-frequency calculated value ⁇ 1.
- the controller 10B is configured in the same way as the controller 10A.
- the AC rotary machine 1 since the AC rotary machine 1 includes the synchronous motor 1B being not slippy, while the rotation angular-frequency estimate value ⁇ e is directly supplied as the angular-frequency calculated value ⁇ 1, the same advantage as in the Embodiment 1 can be obtained.
- the controller for an AC rotary machine according to the invention can be used for various AC rotary machines such as an AC rotary machine mounted in an electric rolling stock.

Description
- The present invention relates to a controller for an AC rotary machine, and particularly relates to a controller for an AC rotary machine, which is a type of speed-sensorless vector control controller, and does not require a speed sensor mounted on the AC rotary machine.
- In speed sensorless vector control, an AC output voltage output from a power converter to the AC rotary machine has an extremely low voltage value in an extremely low speed region in which speed of an AC rotary machine is extremely low. Moreover, the speed sensorless vector control may induce a setting error in rotary machine constant of an AC rotary machine to be used, an error in voltage value of the AC output voltage caused by a short-circuit prevention period between upper and lower arms including semiconductor elements configuring the power converter, and an error in voltage value of the AC output voltage caused by on-voltage drop of each of the semiconductor elements configuring the power converter.
- Therefore, the voltage value error in AC output voltage becomes extremely influential in the extremely low speed region in which the AC output voltage has an extremely low voltage value. On the other hand, in the speed sensorless vector control, an angular-frequency estimate value being an estimate value of angular frequency of the AC output voltage is calculated assuming that the AC output voltage corresponds to a voltage instruction value, and therefore when the voltage value error increases due to the above factors, an error in angular-frequency estimate output of the AC output voltage also increases, leading to instability in control. Therefore, the speed sensorless vector control has a problem that the angular-frequency estimate output of the AC output voltage should be stably calculated even in the extremely low speed region.
- To meet the problem, according to the following
Patent Document 1, first estimate means is provided, which generates an angular-frequency estimate value of an AC output voltage output from a power converter to an AC rotary machine based on a q-axis current instruction value Iq* and a q-axis current detected value Iq, and second estimate means is provided, which generates an angular-frequency estimate value of an AC output voltage based on the q-axis current instruction value Iq* and a d-axis current instruction value Id*, and when the angular-frequency estimate value of the AC voltage given by the first estimate means is equal to or less than a predetermined value, the first estimate means is switched to the second estimate means, and then control is continued. - The second estimate means of the
Patent Document 1 obtains an acceleration instruction value by a product of the d-axis current instruction value Id* and the q-axis current instruction value Iq*, and integrates the acceleration instruction value with an angular-frequency estimate value just before switching as an initial value, thereby obtains the relevant angular- frequency estimate value. - In
Patent Document 2, monitor means is provided, which compares an angular-frequency estimate value being output from an angular-frequency estimate section to a preset lower-level set value, and performs switching by using switch means such that when the angular- frequency estimate value becomes equal to or less than a lower-limit level set value, set angular frequency as an output signal from function generation means is used in place of the angular-frequency estimate value. -
- Patent Document 1:
-
JP-A-2001-238 497 - Patent Document 2:
-
JP-A-8-80098 - However, according to the
Patent Document 1, when the speed of the AC rotary machine increases in some degree, the second estimate means needs to be switched to the first estimate means. However, in such a case, angular-frequency estimate output of the first estimate means does not always correspond to that of the second estimate means. Therefore, it is difficult to determine switching timing from the second estimate means to the first estimate means, and consequently a complicated algorithm is required. - Moreover, the second estimate means generates the angular-frequency estimate value based on the q-axis current instruction value Iq* and the d-axis current instruction value Id*, therefore the means may highly stably calculate the angular-frequency estimate value. However, the second estimate means cannot follow turbulence such as voltage variation at a DC side of the power converter, and idling that may occur in an electric rolling stock. Since the second estimate means is weak in variation in voltage or speed, when the means is used, stability and reliability of the controller may be reduced.
- According to the
Patent Document 2, when a value of angular-frequency estimate output becomes equal to or less than a lower-limit level set-value, output of function generation means is set in place of the angular-frequency estimate output. However, setting of the function generation means is difficult. In addition, when an AC rotary machine is changed, setting of the function generation means needs to be changed, therefore the function generation means needs to be adjusted taking much time whenever the AC rotary machine is changed. - The invention proposes a controller for an AC rotary machine, which may solve the problems in the

- First,
Embodiment 1 of the controller for the AC rotary machine according to the invention is described with reference toFig. 1 . The controller for the AC rotary machine of theEmbodiment 1 shown inFig. 1 includes acontroller 10A that controls anAC rotary machine 1. The ACrotary machine 1 specifically is aninduction motor 1 A which is mounted in an electric car or the like to drive the electric car or the like. Thecontroller 10A is also mounted in the electric car together with theinduction motor 1A to control theinduction motor 1A. - The
controller 10A includes apower converter 11, voltage instruction calculation means 12, dq-axis/three-phase conversion means 13, current detection means 14, three-phase /dq-axis conversion means 15, slip angular-frequency instruction calculation means 16, addition means 17, angular-frequency estimate output means 20, phase calculation means 18, and rotation angular-frequency estimate calculation means 19. - The
power converter 11 is a known VVVF-type power converter, and thepower converter 11 converts DC power PDC from aDC line 2 into three-phase AC output power PAC being variable in voltage and frequency, and supplies the three-phase AC output power PAC to theinduction motor 1A through a three-phase feeder 3. TheDC line 2 is connected to a DC feeder disposed along a travelling rail for the electric car through a current collecting shoe of the electric car. - The
power converter 11 is configured in such a way that respective AC switch electric lines of a U-phase, a V-phase and a W-phase between a pair of electric lines connected to theDC line 2, and each of the AC switch electric lines is connected with upper and lower arms including semiconductor elements, and each AC switch electric line is connected with the three-phase feeder 3. - The
power converter 11 controls a phase in which each semiconductor element on each AC switch electric line by using three phase voltage instruction values Vu*, Vv* and Vw*, so that the DC power PDC is converted into the three-phase AC output power PAC. A three-phase AC voltage of the three-phase AC output power PAC is referred to as three-phase AC output voltage VAC. The three-phase AC output voltage VAC is a three-phase AC voltage being variable in voltage and frequency. - The voltage instruction calculation means 12 calculates a d-axis voltage instruction value Vd* and a q-axis voltage instruction value Vq* in a rotating biaxial coordinate system based on a d-axis current instruction value Id*, a q-axis current instruction value Iq*, and an angular-frequency estimate value ωi in the rotating biaxial coordinate system, and supplies the d-axis voltage instruction value Vd* and the q-axis voltage instruction value Vq* to the dq-axis/three-phase conversion means 13.
- The d-axis current instruction value Id* and the q-axis current instruction value Iq* are supplied from the outside of the
controller 10A to the voltage instruction calculation means 12. The angular-frequency estimate value ωi is supplied from the angular- frequency estimate output means 20 to the voltage instruction calculation means 12. - The dq-axis/three-phase conversion means 13 generates the three phase voltage instruction values Vu*, Vv* and Vw* based on the d-axis voltage instruction value Vd* and the q-axis voltage instruction value Vq*, and supplies the three phase voltage instruction values Vu*, Vv* and Vw* to the
power converter 11. -
- φ* shows a secondary magnetic-flux instruction value for the
induction motor 1A, and M shows mutual inductance being a motor constant of theinduction motor 1A. -
- τ* shows a torque instruction value for the
induction motor 1 A, Lr shows secondary inductance being a motor constant of theinduction motor 1A, and p shows a number of polar pairs of theinduction motor 1A. - The d-axis voltage instruction value Vd* is expressed by the following Formula (3), and the q-axis voltage instruction value Vq* is expressed by the following Formula (4). The voltage instruction calculation means 12 calculates the d-axis voltage instruction value Vd* and the q-axis voltage instruction value Vq* according to the Formulas (3) and (4).
-
- The current detection means 14 has
current detectors phase feeder 3, and thecurrent detectors induction motor 1A, and supplies the current detected values to the three-phase/dq-axis conversion means 15. - The three-phase/dq-axis conversion means 15 converts the three-phase current detected values iu, iv and iw into the d-axis current detected value id and the q-axis current detected value iq in the rotating biaxial coordinate system.
- For example, a current transformer (CT) is used for each of the
current detectors AC feeder 3. - However, the current detection means 14 may be configured such that it detects a three-phase current flowing through an AC circuit having the U-phase, V-phase and W-phase in the inside of the
power converter 11 by using other known means. Moreover, since a relationship of iu+iv+iw = 0 is established, for example, a current detected value iw of the W-phase can be obtained from current detected values iu and iv of two phases of the U and V phases. - The slip angular-frequency instruction calculation means 16 calculates a slip angular-frequency instruction value ωs* based on the d-axis current instruction value Id* and the q-axis current instruction value Iq* in the rotating biaxial coordinate system. The slip angular-frequency instruction value ωs* is expressed by the following Formula (6). The slip angular-frequency instruction calculation means 16 calculates the slip angular-frequency instruction value ωs* according to the Formula (6).
- Rr shows secondary resistance being a motor constant of the
induction motor 1A. - The addition means 17 outputs an angular-frequency calculated value ω1 given by adding the slip angular-frequency instruction value ωs* from the slip angular-frequency instruction calculation means 16 and a rotation angular-frequency estimate value we from the rotation angular-frequency estimate calculation means 19, and supplies the angular-frequency calculated value ω1 to the angular-frequency estimate output means 20. The angular-frequency calculated value ω1 is expressed by the following Formula (7).
- The angular-frequency estimate output means 20 is input with the angular-frequency calculated value ω1 from the addition means 17, and outputs an angular-frequency estimate value ωi in the rotating biaxial coordinate system. The angular-frequency estimate value ωi shows angular frequency of the three-phase AC output voltage VAC output from the
power converter 11. The angular-frequency estimate value ωi is supplied to each of the voltage instruction calculation means 12, the phase calculation means 18, and the rotation angular-frequency estimate calculation means 19. - The phase calculation means 18 calculates a phase θ in the rotating biaxial coordinate system based on the angular-frequency estimate value ωi, and supplies the phase θ to each of the dq-axis/three-phase conversion means 13 and the three-phase/dq-axis conversion means 15. The phase θ corresponds to a value given by integrating the angular-frequency estimate value ωi by the phase calculation means 18.
- The rotation angular-frequency estimate calculation means 19 is supplied with the d-axis voltage instruction value Vd* and the q-axis voltage instruction value Vq* from the voltage instruction calculation means 12, the d-axis current detected value id and the q-axis current detected value iq from the three-phase/dq-axis conversion means 15, and the angular-frequency estimate value ωi from the angular-frequency estimate output means 20.
- The rotation angular-frequency estimate calculation means 19 calculates the rotation angular-frequency estimate value ωe showing rotation angular-frequency of the
induction motor 1A in the rotating biaxial coordinate system based on the d-axis voltage instruction value Vd* and the q-axis voltage instruction value Vq*, and the d-axis current detected value id, the q-axis current detected value iq and the angular-frequency estimate value ωi, and supplies the rotation angular-frequency estimate value ωe to the addition means 17. - A detailed way of calculating the rotation angular-frequency estimate value ωe by the rotation angular-frequency estimate calculation means 19 is disclosed in
JP-A-2003-302 413 - As a feature of the invention, the angular-frequency estimate output means 20 outputs the angular-frequency estimate value ωi such that the value ωi is equal to or more than a lower-limit constant value ω2. Thus, the angular-frequency estimate output means 20 is described in detail with reference to
Fig. 2 . - As shown in
Fig. 2 , the angular-frequency estimate output means 20 has a lower-limit constant value output means 21, a comparison means 24, and a switching means 25. The lower-limit constant value output means 21 includes a constant setting means 22 and multiplication means 23. The constant setting means 22 uses Rs and Ls, being motor constants of theinduction motor 1A respectively, to set a constant value Rs/Ls, and supplies the constant value Rs/Ls to the multiplication means 23. - The multiplication means 23 further multiplies the constant value Rs/Ls by a multiplication constant k, and outputs a lower-limit constant value ω2. The multiplication constant k is a positive constant obtained as described later. The lower-limit constant value ω2 is expressed by the following Formula (8). The lower-limit constant value ω2 is output from the lower-limit constant value output means 21.
- The comparison means 24 has first input a, second input b, and output c. The first input a of the comparison means 24 is supplied with the angular-frequency calculated value ω1 from the addition means 17. The angular-frequency calculated value ω1 is output as addition of the slip angular-frequency instruction value ωs* and the rotation angular-frequency estimate value ωe as shown in the Formula (7).
- The second input b of the comparison means 24 is input with the lower-limit constant value ω2 from the lower-limit constant value output means 21. The output c of the comparison means 24 is supplied to the switching means 25 to perform switching control of the switching means 25. The switching means 25 has first input A, second input B, and output C.
- The first input A of the switching means 25 is supplied with the angular-frequency calculated value ω1 from the addition means 17. The second input B of the switching means 25 is input with the lower-limit constant value ω2 from the lower-limit constant value output means 21. The output C of the switching means 25 outputs the angular-frequency estimate value ωi.
- According to the output c of the comparison means 24 that compares the angular-frequency calculated value ω1 to the lower-limit constant value ω2, the switching means 25 switches between a first state where the input A is connected to the output C so that the angular-frequency estimate value ωi from the output C is equal to the angular-frequency calculated value ω1, and a second state where the input B is connected to the output C so that the angular-frequency estimate value ωi from the output C is equal to the lower-limit constant value ω2.
- When the output c has a value showing a relationship of ω1 > ω2, the comparison means 24 controls the switching means 25 into the first state. In the first state, ωi = ω1 is established, and thus the angular-frequency calculated value ω1 is output from the angular-frequency estimate output means 20 as the angular-frequency estimate value ωi.
- When rotation speed of the
induction motor 1A is reduced, so that the angular-frequency calculated value ω1 is equal to or less than the lower-limit constant value ω2, and the output c has a value showing ω1 ≤ ω2, the comparison means 24 controls the switching means 25 into the second state. In the second state, ωi = ω2 is established, and thus the lower-limit constant value ω2 is output from the angular frequency estimate output means 20 as the angular-frequency estimate value ωi. - Generally, the angular-frequency estimate value ωi is limited to be equal to or more than the lower-limit constant value ω2 in an extremely low speed region of the
induction motor 1 A in which the rotation angular-frequency estimate value ωe of theinduction motor 1 A is inaccurate. In other speed regions, since the rotation angular-frequency estimate value ωe is accurate, the angular-frequency estimate value ωi is equal to the angular-frequency calculated value ω1 given by adding the rotation angular-frequency estimate value ωe to the slip angular-frequency instruction value ωs*. - Since the rotation angular-frequency estimate value ωe given by the rotation angular-frequency estimate calculation means 19 is inaccurate in the extremely low speed region of the
induction motor 1A, if the rotation angular-frequency estimate value ωe is directly used, control of theinduction motor 1A becomes unstable. - However, in the
Embodiment 1, the lower-limit constant value output means 21 limits the angular-frequency estimate value ωi to be equal to or more than the lower-limit constant value ω2 in the extremely low speed region of theinduction motor 1A in which the rotation angular-frequency estimate value ωe is inaccurate, so that control is stabilized. - The multiplication constant k is determined as follows. In a no-loaded condition where actual torque of the
induction motor 1A is zero, that is, the q-axis current instruction value Iq* shows Iq* = 0, calculation of the rotation angular-frequency estimate value ωe in the extremely low speed region of theinduction motor 1A is supposed to be most difficult. In this case, Iq* = 0 is substituted for the Formulas (3) and (4), and thus the d-axis voltage instruction value Vd* and the q-axis voltage instruction value Vq* are expressed by the following Formulas (9) and (10) respectively. - To stably calculate the rotation angular-frequency estimate value ωe, magnitude of the q-axis voltage instruction value Vq* (absolute value) needs to be equal to or larger than magnitude of the d-axis voltage instruction value Vd* (absolute value), that is, |Vd*| ≤ |Vq*| needs to be established. Here, |vd*| ≤ |Vq*| is substituted with the Formulas (9) and (10), and then modified. Thus, the following formula is given.
- The Formula (11) shows that the angular-frequency estimate value ωi needs to be equal to or more than the lower limit value in order to stably calculate the rotation angular-frequency estimate value ωe. While the right side of the Formula (11) has to be equal to the lower-limit constant value ω2, when the right side of the Formula (8) for calculating the lower-limit constant value ω2 is compared to the right side of the Formula (11), the Formula (8) is different from the Formula (11) in that it includes the multiplication constant k.
- The multiplication constant k is introduced to stably calculate the rotation angular-frequency estimate value ωe after consideration that a primary resistance value Rs is changed depending on temperature. The Formula (11) needs to be established for all primary resistance values Rs in a supposed temperature range, and when a maximum value of the primary resistance values Rs in the supposed temperature range is assumed as Rsmax, the Formula (11) is modified as follows.
-
- The multiplication constant k is about 1.5 in an
induction motor 1A having a typical size, and, for example, has a value of 1.25 in asmall induction motor 1A. For example, when theinduction motor 1A is assumed to be a 150 [kW] induction motor being mounted in an electric car, the primary resistance value Rss is 0.1173 [Ω], and the primary inductance is 0.037 [H] at the standard temperature, and when the lower-limit constant value ω2 is calculated using the Formula (8) with the multiplication constant k being assumed as 1.5, 4.75 [rad/sec], that is, 0.756 [Hz] is given. - An advantage given by the lower-limit constant value output means 21 is described while comparing
Fig. 3 withFig. 4. Figs. 3 and 4 show characteristic diagrams showing a relationship between the rotation angular-frequency estimate value ωe obtained by simulation and actual torque of theinduction motor 1A in order to show an advantage that the rotation angular-frequency estimate value ωe is limited to be equal to or more than the lower-limit constant value ω2, thereby speed estimate can be stably performed.
As a condition of the simulation, assuming that there is such a setting error that the primary resistance value is larger than an actual value among the rotary machine constants, rotation frequency of theinduction motor 1A is virtually fixed at one of 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0 [Hz], and a torque instruction value is changed in a range of 0 to 100% of a maximum torque instruction value. The reason for fixing the rotation frequency of theinduction motor 1A is to easily understand what degree of error occurs in speed estimate. - The rotation frequency of the
induction motor 1A depends on frequency of an AC voltage output by thepower converter 11, and frequency of the three-phase voltage instruction value to thepower converter 11 depends on the rotation angular-frequency estimate value ωe. Therefore, the rotation frequency of theinduction motor 1A cannot be actually fixed to a value being significantly different from the rotation angular-frequency estimate value ωe. - In
Figs. 3 and 4 , a horizontal axis shows a value [Hz] of the rotation angular-frequency estimate value ωe expressed in frequency, and a vertical axis shows actual torque [%] of theinduction motor 1A.Fig. 3 shows a characteristic in theEmbodiment 1 in the case that the angular-frequency estimate output means 20 has the lower-limit constant value output means 21, the comparison means 24, and the switching means 25, and the angular- frequency estimate value ωi is limited to be equal to or more than the lower-limit constant value ω2 in the extremely low speed region of theinduction motor 1A. - On the other hand,
Fig. 4 shows a characteristic in the case that the lower-limit constant value output means 21, the comparison means 24, and the switching means 25 in theEmbodiment 1 are eliminated, and the angular-frequency calculated value ω1 ω1 is directly output as the angular- frequency estimate value ωi. InFigs. 3 and 4 , characteristics C1 to C7 correspond to characteristics at rotation frequency of 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0 [Hz] of theinduction motor 1 A respectively. - From the characteristics shown in
Fig. 4 , it can be confirmed that the rotation angular-frequency estimate value ωe is unstable, and the rotation angular-frequency estimate value ωe and the actual torque drop to zero or less respectively in the extremely low speed region when the rotation frequency of theinduction motor 1A is 0.1 [Hz]. This shows that a stable rotation angular-frequency estimate value ωe cannot be obtained in the extremely low speed region of theinduction motor 1A, leading to instability in control. - On the other hand, from the characteristics shown in
Fig. 3 , it is found that even if the rotation frequency of theinduction motor 1A is 0.1 [Hz], the rotation angular-frequency estimate value ωe does not drop to zero or less, and thus a stable rotation angular-frequency estimate value ωe can be obtained, and consequently a stable torque characteristic can be secured. This shows that a stable rotation angular-frequency estimate value ωe can be obtained even in the extremely low speed region of theinduction motor 1A, leading to stability in control. - In this way, according to the
Embodiment 1, stable output torque can be generated even in the extremely low speed region of theinduction motor 1A, and thus a stable rotation angular-frequency estimate value ωe can be obtained even in the extremely low speed region of theinduction motor 1A. Therefore, the reliability of the controller for theinduction motor 1 A can be improved. - In addition, the lower-limit constant value output means 21 outputs a lower-limit constant value as a constant based on the motor constants Rs and Ls, and the multiplication constant k, thereby the lower-limit constant value can be advantageously easily determined without particular adjustment.

Fig. 5 shows a block circuitdiagram showing Embodiment 2 of the controller for the AC rotary machine according to the invention. In theEmbodiment 2, the ACrotary machine 1 is asynchronous motor 1B, and thecontroller 10A in theEmbodiment 1 is replaced by acontroller 10B. In thecontroller 10B shown inFig. 5 , the slip angular-frequencyinstruction calculation device 16 and the addition means 17 in thecontroller 10A are eliminated, and the rotation angular-frequency estimate value ωe from the rotation angular-frequency estimate calculation means 19 is directly supplied to the angular-frequency estimate output means 20 as the angular-frequency calculated value ω1. Except for this, thecontroller 10B is configured in the same way as thecontroller 10A. - In the
Embodiment 2, since the ACrotary machine 1 includes thesynchronous motor 1B being not slippy, while the rotation angular-frequency estimate value ωe is directly supplied as the angular-frequency calculated value ω1, the same advantage as in theEmbodiment 1 can be obtained. - The controller for an AC rotary machine according to the invention can be used for various AC rotary machines such as an AC rotary machine mounted in an electric rolling stock.
